Interviews with Chilly Gonzales and Claude Munson

WOW!!! What an amazing conversation with Chilly Gonzales today on the show!!! Thanks to Chilly for being so generous with his time and sharing his thoughts on a wide-range of ideas revolving around music creation and performance. This is an engaging and thought-provoking artist willing to share his ideas on classical music, contemporary classical music, the importance of performance, how to appreciate hip hop and rap performances and he also fills us in on his amazing project the Gonzervatory. Chilly also tells us a little of what to expect when he performs in Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre on Saturday night (January 18th.) This is a timeless conversation. https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/21589 https://www.chillygonzales.com/gonzervatory/ https://www.chillygonzales.com/music/ Then we check in with Ottawa's Claude Munson about his show on Friday night (January 17th) at Irene's. Claude talks about how he sees the difference between the creative process, the recording studio and then performing live. Like Chilly Gonzales, he makes reference to the adrenaline a performer feels on stage. Claude also talks about how he approached the production of his last album "The Silence Came After" and where his music may be headed with his new recording, which is in the works. You'll need to head out to his show at Irene's on Friday to hear what's happening. https://irenespub.ca/event/claude-munson/ https://claudemunson.wordpress.com/main/ Get out and see some live music this week and be sure to buy the music of artists you love so they can continue creating music. Most independent artists cannot survive on the tiny payments they receive from streaming services... so help keep them alive by buying their creations!
